Mary Sue Maurer was elected to the Calabasas City Council in 2005.  She brought with her an extensive history in community activism, public service and business experience.  She is committed to serving the residents of Calabasas in a spirit of collaboration and a commitment to the values that make the City a wonderful place to live and work.  These include protection of open space, creeks and the region’s watershed; ensuring high quality public and private schools; maintaining a low-crime record; providing ample recreational opportunities for all especially seniors and special needs residents; and supporting a thriving business community where Calabasans can eat, play, and shop locally.

Mary Sue’s community volunteerism began when she moved to Calabasas in 1996.  While working and raising her three sons, Mary Sue has been actively involved in the Calabasas community.  Mary Sue was a co-founder of Middle School Now, a successful effort to build A.C. Stelle Middle School to alleviate overcrowding at A.E. Wright Middle School.  She served as an original appointee to the Calabasas Education Commission, the parent representative on the Yes on Measure E ballot argument for the successfully passed parcel tax initiative, an active member of the Chaparral PFC, and a vice president of the Greater Mulwood Homeowners Association.

Mary Sue’s public service career began when she served as Deputy Press Secretary for California Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi during his first term. From there she focused her attention on our local environment, where she worked in government affairs and public education for the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission.  Mary Sue continued her environmental work during the mid-1990s as a consultant for PS Enterprises, an environmental and social issues firm, where she managed the city of Los Angeles’ extensive storm water pollution prevention and education campaign, disseminating important pollution prevention information to manufacturers, business owners and homeowners.   

In 2001, she became Field Deputy for Assemblymember Fran Pavley, serving as the Assemblymember’s designee on the boards of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission. 

Mary Sue’s business experience includes serving as staff on the eclectic movie service, the Z Channel, as a public relations executive with The Walt Disney Company, and as head of philanthropy programs for Blue Shield of California.
